Peter Harrington

Peter Harrington first began selling rare books from the Chelsea Antiques Market on London's King's Road. For the past twenty years the business has been run by Pom Harrington, Peter's son. One of the leading rare book dealers in the world and the largest antiquarian book dealer in Europe, Peter Harrington has, for over half a century, dealt with a stock of thousands of fine books, from rare seventeenth-century Shakespeare folios to highly sought-after contemporary classics such as signed and inscribed first editions of the Harry Potter series. Our principal specialities include literature, economics, politics, and philosophy, travel, navigation, military history, science and medicine, children's books, and fine library sets. Peter Harrington's flagship shop occupies a double-fronted building at 100 Fulham Road, London, with more than 20,000 volumes and 6,000 works on paper displayed over four floors. Our Dover Street location in the West End of London offers a carefully curated selection of our best stock in a gallery-style environment at a location that is convenient for many of our clients. We regularly exhibit at rare book fairs around the world, and at the art and antiques fairs Masterpiece and Frieze Masters. We also own and run the Chelsea Bindery, offering fine leather bindings in the English handcraft tradition. Peter Harrington Rare Books is a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association and offers an unconditional guarantee for each item it sells on its authenticity and completeness. Newsletter
